Atlético de Madrid then breathes a hard-fought comeback against Leganés in a Metropolitano that changed the loud whistles for euphoria. Despite this, there is also cause for concern among the Colchonera parish due to the Lenglet and Barrios injuries.
The Frenchman suffered a strong impact from Witsel on his knee and ankle, while the red-and-white youth player left in tears at the end of the match due to muscle discomfort. Both are pending the relevant medical tests to establish the extent of their ailments.
Simeone maintained that it is necessary to wait, while praising Barrios, “a very complete player” who does “very well” for Atlético. While Witsel is confident that the injuries, especially Lenglet’s in the affected area, are not serious.
Regarding the rarefied atmosphere that the Metropolitan experienced due to the sanction to the south end for throwing objects at Courtois, the Argentine coach regretted the injustice that it represents “punish 5,000 for the attitude of five or six». He also wanted to assess the spirit of the rest of the stands. «People today realized that we needed a push, an effort. “He was present and he was close.”
For his part, Witsel confessed that the atmosphere is “hotter” when the cheering stands are present, but maintained that against Leganés the fans were also “spectacular.” «We lost and we needed it. The fans supported you until the end,” said the Belgian.
